Our aim is to give you the advice which will allow you to make the best possible decisions about your family and the future.
Our approach is to seek agreement wherever that is possible, using court proceedings only as a last resort and never for their own sake. Where it is necessary to litigate, we will represent you with care and vigour.
We will give you sensible and sensitive advice; where we feel that you would be best served by an expert from another discipline, as well as or instead of a lawyer, we can help you identify that person.
We are committed, discreet and professional. |

Cohabitation & Divorce: Civil Partnerships |
|
|
|
Registration |
|
|
In order to form a valid civil partnership, you will have to apply to have your partnership formally registered at your local register office.
Once registered, you will have exactly the same rights and responsibilities as a married couple. Civil partners will be treated in the same way as married couples for the purposes of tax, inheritance, benefits and ‘next of kin’ status. If there are children who are treated as children of the family then civil partners can, after taking certain steps, acquire parental responsibility in relation to those children. |
